Interferon-γ Modulates Melatonin Production in Rat Pineal Glands in Organ Culture

TL;DR: The effect of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) on melatonin production was determined in rat pineal glands in organ culture and enhanced the production of melatonin in the glands incubated with EMT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thyroxine 5'-deiodination in brown adipose tissue and pineal gland: implications for thermogenic regulation and role of melatonin.

TL;DR: The data indicate that 5'-D II in Richardson's ground squirrel shows classical localizations and two new regulatory factors of 5-D II are reported, i.e. melatonin for BAT and cold for the pineal gland.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of isoproterenol and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on thyroxine type-II 5′-deiodinase and N-acetyltransferase activities in rat pineal organ cultures

TL;DR: The results suggest that the beta-adrenergic activation of the 5'-D activity is mediated by cyclic AMP in the rat pineal gland.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of pineal type-II 5'-deiodinase does not affect the nocturnal increase of N-acetyltransferase activity and melatonin content in either euthyroid or thyroidectomized rats.

TL;DR: The presence of type‐II thyroxine 5′‐deiodinase (5′‐D) activity in rat pineal gland and N‐acetyltransferase (NAT) activity, and melatonin content were measured in the same rat Pineal.
